Author: Greville Phillimore Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Lyrics: 1 Every morning mercies new
Fall as fresh as morning dew;
Every morning let us pay
Tribute with the early day:
For thy mercies, Lord, are sure;
Thy compassion doth endure.
2 Still the greatness of thy love
Daily doth our sins remove;
Daily, far as east from west,
Lifts the burden from the breast;
Gives unbought to those who pray
Strength to stand in evil day.
3 Let our pray'rs each morn prevail,
That these gifts may never fail;
And, as we confess the sin
And the tempter's pow'r within,
Every morning, for the strife,
Feed us with the Bread of Life.
4 As the morning light returns,
As the sun with splendor burns,
Teach us still to turn to thee,
Ever-blessed Trinity,
With our hands our hearts to raise,
In unfailing prayer and praise.
Amen. Topics: Bread of Life; The Church The Lord's Day Morning; God Faithfuless of; Grace Refreshing Used With Tune: EVERY MORNING
